FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: WIN_MONITOR_LOC_JUN19.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
OBJECTID	Internal feature number.
Shape	Feature geometry.
M_LOC_KEY	MONITORING_LOCATION_KEY: System generated unique identifier for Monitoring Location.
WINORG_KEY	WIN_ORGANIZTION_KEY: System generated unique identifier for WIN Organization.
ORG_ID	ORGANIZATION_ID: The unique identifier of the State, Federal, local, academic, commercial, volunteer, or other agency responsible for and in ownership of retrieved data. This identifier is assigned by Florida Department of Environmental Protection in cooperation with US Environmental Protection Agency.
ORG_NAME	ORGANIZATION_NAME: The formal full-length name of the Organization that owns the data.
M_LOC_ID	MONITORING_LOC_ID: The alpha-numeric code assigned by the owning Organization which uniquely identifies the Monitoring Location within the Organization.
LOC_NAME	LOCATION_NAME: The name by which an Organization refers to a Monitoring Location (site at which sampling or other activities are conducted).
COUNTY	A code designator used to identify the Florida county in which the monitoring location resides.
PRI_TYPE	PRIMARY_TYPE: The code that represents the primary type designation of a Monitoring Location.
SEC_TYPE	SECONDARY_TYPE: The code that represents the secondary type designation of a Monitoring Location.
DEP_DATUM	The name that describes the DEP reference datum used in determining the DEP latitude and longitude coordinates.
COORD_METH	DEP_COORD_METHOD: The code that identifies the DEP Collection Method used to determine the DEP latitude and longitude coordinates.
NHD_REACH	GIS_NHD_REACH_CODE_ID: In the NHD, each reach (continuous piece of surface water with similar hydrologic characteristics) is assigned a reach code. A reach code is a 14 digit code comprised of two parts. The first eight digits are the HUC for the sub basin in which the reach exists, and the last six digits are a sequential number that is assigned when reach codes are allocated in the sub basin. Each reach code occurs only once throughout the nation, but a reach code may be on a number of contiguous features, if they all belong to the same reach. Once assigned, a reach code is permanently associated with its reach. If the reach is deleted, its reach code is retired.
WATERBODY_	WATERBODY_NAME: The Florida DEP recognized name of a waterbody on which the monitoring location resides (e.g., BISCAYNE AQUIFER, TURTLE SPRING).
VV_DATE	VISUAL_VERIFICATION_DATE: The date and time indicating when the "Visual Verification" process was performed. This information will be generated by WIN during the process.
VV_NAME	VISUAL_VERIFIER_NAME: The name of the person which is performing the "Visual Verification" process at the time of the data load. This information will be generated by WIN during the process.
LAT_DD	Latitude in decimal degrees.
LONG_DD	Longitude in decimal degrees.
MGRS	Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) Coordinate of the Facility. The MGRS is the geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries for locating points on the earth. The MGRS provides a means to represent any location on the surface of the Earth using an alphanumeric string. Hierarchical references are based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system. The MGRS is used for the entire earth. http://mgrs-data.org/
GOOGLEMAP	Webpage hyperlink to location in Google Maps.
DESCRIPT	Based on LOC_NAME and M_LOC_ID
FGDLAQDATE	The date FGDL acquired the data from the source.
AUTOID	Unique ID added by GeoPlan

USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

This layer contains all monitoring locations that have been processed through the Watershed Information Network (WIN) application, which includes confirmation that data have passed all WIN Minimum Data Quality Standards (MDQS), were visually verified within the WIN application, and are associated to a NHD Reach Code, when required.

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

Not for legal use. Although all WIN monitoring locations must be visually verified by the organization that loaded the location, there is not a requirement for the monitoring location to be reviewed or approved by DEP prior to publication. FDEP: This data is intended to be used for general informational and planning purposes, and is not appropriate for legal and/or cadastral purposes. FDEP: The data set is NOT a survey document and should not be utilized as such. FDEP GIS data is provided as a public service. FDEP makes every effort to provide accurate and complete data.

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
